The Phoenix Clan is the Voice of the Emperor, represented by Isawa Sezaru, the Emperorís brother. They are a clan of scholars and priests who pursue the art of magic with a fervor unmatched in the Empire. They are a clan of contradictions. While they value peace, their war against the Mantis has continued for months unabated. Though their shugenja are holy men, the shadow of corruption haunts their families.
